Other Pascals

Discover the untold philosophies of the Pascal women in Other Pascals by John J. Conley. Published by the University of Notre Dame Press in 2019, this groundbreaking hardback edition spans 277 pages and delves into the intellectual contributions of Blaise Pascal's sisters, Jacqueline Pascal and Gilberte Pascal Périer, as well as his niece, Marguerite Périer.
